About the Speaker
Anthony Inglis Howard-
More often than any other artist Anthony has appeared in London's Royal Albert Hall and he has conducted extensively around the world with major orchestras. His autobiography "Sit Down, Stop Waving Your Arms!" was so titled after a comment made to him by a member of the audience. It is available now.
About the Talk
Aside from conducting around the world, Anthony has an extraordinary and unique story to tell: his family has supplied 9 distinguished pilots to the Royal Air Force. We will travel from the Royal Flying Corps in the 1st world war over the Somme and Passchendaele, via "One of The Few", to a current Chinook pilot. Others were, firstly, the Senior Air Officer Commanding (the SAOC) of the British Expeditionary Force, Air Marshall Sir Victor Goddard who came up with the idea of The Little Ships at Dunkirk, secondly, Air Commodore Ernest Howard-
